I'm pretty sure that's why they took the commit. They can't enroll 25 in 2017, they are still going to sign a "full" class.Quote:

Was the JJ Russell offer and subsequent commit a tactic to get CJ Avery or can the kid really play?
Kid can really play but it doesn't hurt they're best friends.Quote:

Didn't hurt USC????? Have they been in the national title picture the past 7 years ? No... Since their last Rose Bowl in '08 they have gone to 5 bowl games . Emarld, Sun, Vegas, Holiday, Holiday.. And they were still getting 4 and 5 star guys during their probation period.. ( because they are USC and there are an abundance of those players in Cali.) UMiss isn't USC and won't be drawing in out of state talent like they have the last few years..Quote:

USC also had instability at Head Coach, with one being Lane Kiffin and the other an alcoholic. In those 7 years you mentioned, USC's recruiting on fell out of the Top 10 one season and that was at #13. They have more of leadership problem at USC rather than reeling from sanctions.Quote:

We will find out if Freeze can do the same without the money.
What we are seeing is OM's strategy taken from Alabama...cheat for several years to build a championship program, set the standard, back off the cheating because then you have attention without having to cheat and then sell the "We are winning championships" sales pitch. Unfortunately they couldn't get to the championship status with their famed 2013 class. And now they are getting busted before they can move any further. I freaking love it!
Perhaps they had a leadership problem bc there aren't many top flight coaches that wanna jump on a program that has severe sanctions. Either way though, I think it was the depth issues (bc of sanctions) more than the coachingQuote:
